Re: Is Organic Food Better?

There was a big news story a little while ago stating that 
range chickens produces eggs with better cholesterol. The 
yellow in free range chicken eggs is Beta Carotene, which they are 
supposed to get more of when they feed on greens, instead of just mash. 
Our chicken's eggs in the summer are almost pink!

Homogenizing creates abnormally shaped molecules which are more likely to 
find their way through the stomach wall (which they are not supposed to

"In short, people decided that it was impossible to achieve any of the 
good of Socialism, but they comforted themselves by achieving all the 
bad. All that official discipline, about which the Socialists themselves 
were in doubt or at least on the defensive, was taken over bodily by the 
Capitalists. They have now added all the bureacratic tyrannies of a 
social state to the old plutocratic tyrannies of a Capitalist state. For 
the vital point is that it did no in the smallest degree diminish the 
inequalities of a Capitalist State. It simply destroyed such individual 
liberties as remained among its victims."

G.K. Chesterton

 The habit of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those
 that have not got it.
